So I picked up an SR9c in black Saturday and successfully and professionally installed a set of Trijicon HD night sights which Amazon had for $69.00(!!) which was a screaming deal. I took it to the range today and not only was it zeroed perfectly, it functioned 100% for 200 rounds of a lot of...

Ruger is a super good customer service company. They will either get it 100% or replace it. You may have to send it back a few times though. I currently have an new SR9 SS with the same problem you are having. I decided to monkey with it a bit and I think I got it working. But even if it doesn't...

I think I fixed it... I figured hey if I got to send it in anyway, why not: So I roll pinned the extractor out and used a little flat file and sharpened up the extractor edge just a hair. Also de-burred a few spots where the casting left a ridge, whatever looked like it might be a problem. But I...

The Trijicons are nice. Back sight is easy and you get to keep the elevation adjustment. Front sights can be a bear. Watch the Dillion Precision vid on Youtube. It's about a 1911 but it applies. You really need a vice, aluminum punch, masking tape, sand paper, caliper, and patience. LOTS of...

Yea, I thought I had this licked, but took it out yesterday and got a FTE after the 3rd round. Worked great for another 30. Called Ruger, they want me to send it back, but the girl was really clueless. I appreciate their willingness to spend money on shipping, etc. And the CS is really top...

Funny you mention the walk around, I used to be that guy... All the ground crew is concentrating on is pretty much what they are responsible for. The pilot walking around is looking for stuff that other people are not responsible for. Like the Alaska flight that landed in Fairbanks from Cali...

I took it apart to make sure everything was in it... :) But I didn't clean it. Heck Glock used to ship their guns with this copper colored break in compound. You were supposed to leave it in. I'm realizing now that the Ruger silly putty they ship the guns with is for shipping only, LOL. I...

130 rounds through at the range today. Lawman, UMC, Mag Tech, Win WB. I had a stove pipe at 30 rounds. Then I sprayed the ejector with Rem Oil just for kicks and giggles, and then ran 100 rounds through 100%. I did 2 - 15 round mag dumps at the end, again 100%. It may be psychological, but...

Thanks John, that's good advice. This gun is in all other ways great. I can already tell it's dead on accurate. I'm getting close to 300 rounds now, I gave it a good clean again and maybe Monday I'll run 100 rounds through it and see where we are at. If it eats those, I'm just going to give it a...

Last night I gave the gun a good clean and lube, and really got all of that cosmoline/grease that Ruger ships it with out and the gun shot a lot better today. I ran 5 mags through and had 1 FTE/double feed about half way through the second mag. Then it ran 100% for 3 full mags with Federal...

SO I got an SR9c and an SR40 that are tack drivers and reliable as taxes are high... Picked up a new SR9 SS and got a lot of practice at the range clearing double feeds. Ejection is wimpy with UMC and Win WB. Tested my SR9c with the same ammo and it flys forcefully through the air and lands in...

Galco Tac Slide is the best OWB holster I've found for CCW. It's vertical, low profile and the gun sits high. The wide spacing of the belt loop allow for some fore aft latitude as well. It's my go to EDC OWB CCW holster. But I also have a shipment of Kydex coming Saturday and who knows what I...

I have been carrying 1911's and Glocks for the past 5 years CCW. When i sat down and tried to figure out why I was going back and forth it was because there were things I liked about each. The SR9 has the features that I wanted in one gun. So now I carry the Sr9 and the Sr9c.

I have the same experience. My Sr9c is just now starting to loosen up so I can just now remove the pin without a punch. SO it's been about 500 rounds and 3-4 cleanings. On the other hand my SR9's have been tool-less since day 1. Not sure about cleaning the striker channel, after 500 rounds I...

Comptac MTAC, tuckable and the most comfortable I've used. They have one specifically for the SR9C.
